Well, I've imported my pgp 5.0 secret key (I've removed the passphrase) in
gpg 0.4.1 and actually my pgp5 is unable to verify signatures made by gpg.
(both ascii armored or not). I've also tried with symmetric ciphers, to
avoid use of pub/sec keys, and I'm still unable to exchange cyphertexts
between gpg and pgp5.0, no matter which otpions I'm using.
I'm looking for anyone that succeded in gpg/pgp5.0 messages exchange...
